21-year-old Mulazum Hussain led the police chase through Sheffield, reaching speeds of 85mph in his Vauxhall Corsa (what else?) as he bounced across roundabouts, sped through red lights, rammed a police car and generally drove at a much higher speed that you might expect of a man who can apparently only see "a few feet" ahead of him.

Hussain has been jailed for nine months, after admitting a charge of dangerous driving. He didn't have any insurance, either. But then it's probably quite hard to get car insurance when you're registered as blind. [Metro]
